Scary!
But a bike race on snowheads "Piste" section? Well I suppose it was a piste, though not a snow one.
Traditionally on snowheads "Off-piste" is covered by "Piste" which is arguably weirder.

First time I've seen the video. So amazing I couldn't care where it was posted or whether it was snow related or not.

Amazing. He seemed to travel quite a distance and on very steep streets. Is it Santiago? I can't think of city in Europe that could stage a similar event.

Ibex, no, that's Valparaiso (there's a clue on the page, what with it saying "Valparaiso"  )
There's plenty of other urban DH races held around the world, but South America seems to have the best courses. The idea started in Lisbon, though.

You know it makes sense.

Surely it's a lot quicker just to click the back button and look at something else, than it is so post a sarcastic "how many times.....?" rolley-eyes message?

They've run a few events like this in the UK. Bristol and Edinburgh ring bells, but I'm really not sure where.
From the vid, that was about a 3min course, so probably something like 300m vertical drop. (Fort William world-cup course is 600m drop and the pros do it in a little over 5 minutes).
Cool stuff, but to be honest the proper "mountain" courses are much more technically demanding. Some of those wooden drops look fecking huge though.
